Hi Pearson,

Please see the code that I posted for Barb on the same thread.

I copied your code right after: Set NewSht = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
and I replace the folder directory just as you instructed; however, there is
one section of the code that turn RED:

Res = MsgBox("The file '" & FName & "' is already open." &
vbCrLf & _
"Click 'Yes' to close and re-open the workbook." &
vbCrLf & _
"Click 'No' to skip this workbook and leave the
existing version open." & vbCrLf & _
"Click 'Cancel' to terminate the operation.",
vbYesNoCancel, "Open Workbooks")

And when I run it, here is the Error message I got:

Complie error:
Automation type not supported in Visual Basic

Any idea?
FYI, I'm using Office 2004 for Mac OSX.

Thank you,
Neon520

Try some code like the following. Change the FolderName line marked
with <<< to the appropriate folder. The code will open all the files
in that folder. If a file is already open, the user is prompted to
close and re-open the file (vbYes), skip the file and leave it open
(vbNo) or terminate the entire operation (vbCancel).

Sub OpenFiles()

Dim WB As Workbook
Dim FName As String
Dim SaveDir As String
Dim FolderName As String
Dim Res As VbMsgBoxResult

FolderName = "C:\SiteStats" '<<< CHANGE
ChDrive FolderName
ChDir FolderName

Do Until FName = vbNullString

Set WB = Nothing
Set WB = Workbooks(FName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then

Select Case Res

Case vbNo
' do nothing
Case vbCancel
Exit Sub
End Select
Else

End If
FName = Dir()
Loop
ChDrive SaveDir
ChDir SaveDir


End Sub

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to Joel, I have a code to open All Files in one folder to extract the
data from.

However, Debugging Error will occur if any of the file in That folder remain
open, regardless of any changes made and/or user save the changes or not.
Is there a way to code so that there will an ERROR MESSAGE BOX appear when
any of the file in That folder is open. Then the user can click ok and then
close the file manually.

I know there must be a way to force save the opened file and proceed with
whatever is next, but this way might force save any unintended changes save
to it. So I rather prefer it to be manual instead.

Thanks for any help.
